(1) sweet sensations — direct sensations of beauty in the ruins he had seen, which are immediately pleasurable (the direct impression of nature in general)
(2) reflected sensations — the same sensations, recalled in memory; the stock of sentiment which is an important part of the Romantic approach to experience (translated into poetry or other forms of art).
(3) insight (the application of thought to reflected sensations; the basis for scientific understanding).
